Ski/Board Set-Ups!

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

Check Royal Board Shop, last I knew they were a retailer for Yes boards.

Royal definitely carries YES. I wanted to pick one up last year, but ended up getting a 2011 Ride Antic which fit my budget. Two years ago I switched up the bindings to Forum Aurora Reversealous...... which are decent.

Hard to believe I started riding in 1996

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

no way! makes you a complete Og baller. Must be a pretty heavy set up though haha.

Not as Og as a friend I used to ride with, had one of these.



Burton Air, Craig Kelly complete with the same bindings pictured and hard boots.

Wicked, thanks a bunch

Totally off topic, how's your '12 TDI??

So far it is loving the snow ... I will need to pick up some summer tires for those Carlsson's at some point. Probably after the new year unless some killer deal comes up before then. We can work something out over PM though.

**Back on Topic**

I'm sure most of the skiers know what my setup is but for the rest.

Here's the planks.


Bindings.


And boots(the warmest pair I've owned so far).

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

What boot sole length were they mounted to? Interested, but I would like to know if the bindings have to be remounted or not.

iirc its a 307mm sole length, salomon spk pro 26.5 boot

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

for the most part, yes, but it also depends on ability and what type of riding you want to use the board for.

Also I have a pair of 181 Armada AR7s from 2 years ago for sale, bases are in good shape and all the edges are good as well! Asking $200 with look 14 din bindings!

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

Bought a pair of Atomic Bent Chetlers last spring that Ill be riding this season. Excited to see how they'll perform.

Best ski I have ever ridden holds on groomers and floats real well. Stiff under foot but still soft enough in the tip and tail to be playful. You will not be disappointed.

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

I like the shorter boards for better control and easier spins in the parks. But they are definitely weight dependant too. Apparently i'm a fatty seeing as I snapped the tail of my K2 board when I had a whole day of powder at Kimberly.

Lean back like a gangster they said......

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

Just a quick but rather in depths question. What are the best gloves heated, mitts, leather or just regular gloves. Does MEC make good stuff? My requirements are that they must be long. My price range is $100 or so.

MEC.. even Wal-Mart. For park gloves, get a pair of "Classy's" from most truck stops for about $15-$20

Re: Ski/Board Set-Ups!

yeah and weight to an extent. i believe a good way to measure is if the board is between your chin and your nose, like how you would measure a hockey stick. but it does all come down to personal preference. i like a shorter board because it allows for better controll. Longer boards typically are better for powder riding.

Yeah I think this is generally what they get you to do. I could be way off but depending on your weight you may want to be either on the upper end or lower end of that "benchmark". Though tall enough for the 157, being under weight I had a harder time controlling it and it really slowed down learning to turn for me.
